How They Were

How They Were

He loves her too much, he says it scares him

She shivers at his touch. He hates that she fears him

In the beginning

when everything was new

before the first kiss

before she knew

but now she knows

she knows so well

the road to hell

He tried to love with all of himself

he tried to give himself to her

And he’s gonna do better next time

so they can go back to how they were

Do better next time so they can go back to how they were

She never complains cause he says he loves her

She can always explain he didn’t mean to hurt her

In the beginning

when everything was new

before the first touch

before he knew

but now he knows (now he knows)

he knows so well (he knows so well)

the road to hell

(oh, does he know that she)

She tried to love with all of herself

She tried to give herself to him

and she’s gonna do better next time

so they can go back

She tried to love with all of herself

She tried to give herself to him

and she’s gonna do better next time

so they can go back to how they were (how they were)

and she’s gonna do better next time

so they can go back to how they were

Do better next time

so we can go back to how we were
